A woman is confronted by men in a room after being found with a gun; she claims she was given it for protection, but it is identified as the one used by Earl Williams. The group demands to know Williams's location, and she deflects by mentioning a hospital visit.
“Oh, you will, eh? You keep that door closed and don't let anybody in or out. Now, we'll see about this. Come on, Pinky. Give them the third degree. There. I'm talking. You got Williams, Pinky. Yes. Now, look here, Johnson. I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Are you going to talk or aren't you?” 79:32 · “Where did you get this gun? I've got a right to carry a gun if I want to. Not this gun. I can explain that hard well. When Hildy told me she was going to interview Earl Williams, I thought it would be dangerous, so I gave her a gun to defend herself. Oh, you did? Well, that's very interesting.” 80:00 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
